About Capsule Endoscopy

A capsule endoscopy uses a pill sized video camera that you swallow to allow examination of the small intestine. This camera continuously takes pictures as it passes through your digestive tract, saving them to a small recording device for later evaluation. The capsule will eventually pass during a bowel movement.

The procedure allows your doctor to evaluate the small intestine, since this particular part of the bowel cannot be assessed with a colonoscopy or upper endoscopy. It can be utilized for finding the cause of a bleed, or detecting polyps, inflammatory bowel disease, ulcers, or tumors.

I live in Hickory and was going to gastroenterologist associates of Hickory. Horrible experience to say the least. I would show up at appointment and then they would send me a no-show and try to charge me for it. Then I was referred to gastroenterology Associates of the Piedmont of Winston Salem. Probably the best Doctor visit that I’ve had in my life. The staff was very professional they were very efficient . Dr. Brian Smith was very professional and very personable. Took the time to listen and talk about my condition very thorough. I was in and out of his office within an hour. Definitely deserves more than a five star rating.
